LUIDNGTON OFFSHORE CLASSIC FISHING TOURNAMENT – Photo by Todd & Brad Reed Photography
Lake Michigan fishing yields some great salmon, and now’s your chance to grab some big money along with those fish! The Ludington Offshore Classic sponsored by Captain Chuck’s takes place each July. This tournament is open to any boat 18′ or longer equipped with a marine radio. Registrations must be completed online. Shotgun starts are at 6am and by 2pm, all boats must be inside the pier heads (except for Youth Tournament, where boats must be in by noon). Weigh-ins occur in a drive-through fashion in the parking lot at 3pm at Waterfront Park. There will be no food, drink, or merchandise available on site.
Over 100 boats entered last year’s tournament. The 2022 winner in the pro division was the crew of Pure Injection and they claimed the top prize. The winner of the Big Boys competition was the team from Fin Scout.
Awards immediately follow weigh-in on Wednesday.
